JumpCloud partners with Scrut to deliver faster audits and stronger security. JumpCloud Inc. announced a new partnership with Scrut Automation, an AI-native GRC platform. The partnership connects access management with continuous compliance, so growing companies can pass security reviews and audits without pulling IT away from daily work. Growing businesses are often held by buyers to the same strict security standards as large enterprises. Meeting these demands usually forces IT teams to waste days taking screenshots and making user lists manually. JumpCloud and Scrut fix both sides of the problem. JumpCloud controls users and devices across the organization, while Scrut automatically gathers data and maps it to relevant framework requirements across 70+ frameworks. Together, JumpCloud manages access across every user, device, and AI agent, while Scrut continually shows that security controls are working. By pairing daily management with continuous proof, the joint solution gives busy IT teams key benefits for audit workflows and closes security gaps. * Identity & access proof: JumpCloud manages security settings and logins for employees and AI agents. Scrut turns these active settings into live audit evidence. * All-in-one device controls: JumpCloud manages Windows, Mac, and Linux laptops from one place, and its Scrut integration automates device compliance monitoring. * Smart governance for AI agents: JumpCloud tracks and manages AI agents' ownership, while Scrut proves to auditors that these agents follow required safety rules. * Ideal for lean IT teams: Combines daily IT work and audit prep into a single process built for busy IT teams. "Passing vendor security reviews shouldn't slow business growth or add work for IT teams," said Antoine Jebara, co-founder and general manager of channels and alliances, JumpCloud. "By using JumpCloud to manage identities and devices, customers can simplify security and compliance while generating the evidence they need to pass reviews more easily. Our partnership with Scrut helps customers reduce manual audit work, meet buyer requirements faster, and keep their businesses moving forward securely." Scrut and JumpCloud cover two halves of the same problem," said Aayush Ghosh Choudhury, Co-Founder and CEO of Scrut Automation. "JumpCloud enforces who gets access to what. Scrut collects the evidence that those controls are working, continuously, so IT leaders aren't rebuilding it from scratch when an auditor or a customer's security review asks. They don't need another dashboard. They need the evidence to already be there."

JumpCloud has launched features that enforce security policies in real time across users, devices, and AI agents. The Colorado-based company says the tools keep organisations audit-ready without extra headcount. The move responds to a gap in governance. JumpCloud's Q3 2026 IT Trends Report found only 21% of organisations have controls for non-human identities. New capabilities include workflow automation, real-time compliance reporting, and risk detection. Audit trails link every human and non-human action to a verified identity, supporting SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and NIS2 audits. Privileged access management, using isolated identities and time-boxed credentials for admins and agents, is due in December 2026. "An AI agent is only as compliant as the person behind it and the device it runs on," said Rahul Kamdar, senior vice president of product.
